Sure, thanks. - Just remember that it's a non-standard option. But
for my GNU environment it's certainly a usable part of the solution.
It seems to also handle multiple numeric components as desired (as
versions usually have)

$ ls | shuf | xargs ls -v
1    1.2   1.11  2.1  2.10  10.1  10.10  11.1
1.1  1.10  2	 2.2  2.11  10.2  10.11  11.2
